** As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, Yugabyte wanted to reflect on two eventful years with YugabyteDB Managed, a turnkey, cloud-based service that leverages the strength of their open source database within simplicity. The platform has seen significant achievements driven by dedication to technical excellence and responsive evolution based on real-world use and feedback. With 166% year-over-year growth in monthly active users, over 11,000 new sign-ups in the community, and a 225% increase in cluster management, YugabyteDB Managed has proven itself as a robust and scalable service. Customers have praised features like multi-region clusters, enhanced latency management, robust resilience and fault tolerance, adherence to data regulations, scalability and performance optimization, and simplified database management. The company's commitment to excellence is demonstrated through their "Incognito Projects" - internal pranks that simulate real-world scenarios to refine tools and ensure customer perfection. With over 170+ key user capabilities and a strong focus on application development, not database operations, YugabyteDB Managed has brought transformative experiences to its users.
